O Movimento Viva Brasil (MVB) é uma associação civil brasileira sem fins lucrativos criada em 2005, tendo como objetivos principais garantir aos cidadãos o direito de posse e porte de armas de fogo para legítima defesa, prática esportiva, caça e colecionismo de armas.

Visão geral
O Movimento Viva Brasil ganhou notoriedade em 2005, por sua atuação na campanha pelo "não" no referendo sobre a proibição da comercialização de armas de fogo e munições.

Com a vitória do "não" naquele referendo, a maioria do eleitorado brasileiro decidiu-se pela continuidade do comércio de armas de fogo e munições. Desde então, tornou-se uma entidade importante de direitos civis a defender a posse e porte de armas de fogo por cidadãos e CACs.

Atuação
O Movimento Viva Brasil critica duramente o excesso de burocracia imposto aos cidadãos que desejam adquirir armas de forma legal. Seus membros afirmam que esta burocracia estimula o mercado ilegal. Argumentam também que, criminosos não adquirem armas através do mercado legal, apelando até para fábricas clandestinas de armas de fogo para se armarem. Junto a outros grupos, como o Instituto Defesa, e o PROARMAS defende a revogação do Estatuto do Desarmamento, por entender que, ao insistir na sua manutenção, o governo desrespeita a decisão tomada pela maioria dos eleitores no referendo de 2005.

Em abril de 2011, o Movimento Viva Brasil, por intermédio de seu presidente, Bene Barbosa, fez uma apresentação na Câmara dos Deputados do Brasil chamada "Controle e fiscalização x Política Pública de Desarmamento", onde contestou dados sobre o aumento de taxas de homicídios estar relacionado com a venda de armas legais para civis. Ele também contestou, a afirmação de que o acesso às armas pelos CACs (Colecionadores, Atiradores e Caçadores), são menos fiscalizados.

O Projeto de Lei N.º 3.722 de 2012 de autoria do deputado federal Rogério Mendonça (PMDB - SC) pretende mudar o Estatuto do Desarmamento, tornando a legislação adequada ao resultado do Referendo de 2005.

Atualmente, no Brasil, só é permitida a posse de armas de fogo para pessoas maiores de 25 anos, que preencham os requisitos, com ficha limpa na polícia e para o porte, é também necessário que justifique a sua "efetiva necessidade", e essa última exigência, por ser um ato discricionário da Polícia Federal, vem sendo questionada na justiça.

Mexican father battles to raise his U.S. son - Albuquerque Journal
Mexican father battles to raise his U.S. son
By Maggie Shepard / Journal Staff Writer
Published: Saturday, June 11th, 2016 at 11:43PM
Updated: Saturday, June 11th, 2016 at 11:09PM
A Mexican father living in his homeland has won back the chance to raise his young son after the New Mexico Court of Appeals ruled that child welfare workers wrongly rushed to terminate the father's rights using faulty justification.
The ruling slightly changes the way the state's Children Youth and Families Department handles cases with a child of a foreign national.
It also tells a story of a man fighting to be allowed to be a father to his son – even though the two are still living in separate countries.
The boy, who is now nearly 4, was born in New Mexico to an American mother and his Mexican father, Alfonso, in 2012, which by law makes the boy a United States citizen and Mexican national.
He was 5 months old when he and his 8-year-old half bother were taken by CYFD from their drug-addicted mother, who was homeless and had active arrest warrants.
Alfonso at the time was in jail on a DWI charge and slated for immediate deportation. From jail and using an interpreter, Alfonso "expressed a strong desire to maintain his bond" with the boy, appeals judges wrote in their December 2015 opinion.
So CYFD created a plan for him, and he complied, taking classes, counseling and drug tests while incarcerated.
CYFD said he had done "as much as possible" while incarcerated and the plan requirements would have to continue after he was released in order for CYFD to deem him a suitable placement for the child.
Alfonso agreed.
He was deported in September 2013 and called his CYFD social worker when he arrived back in Mexico so the two could set up his required appointments.
But just weeks later – before Alfonso's first scheduled appointment for counseling and drug testing – the CYFD caseworker petitioned a judge to terminate his parental rights.
At this point, the boy was about 14 months old and had been in foster care in the United States for nine months.
Justification for termination
CYFD argued before Children's Court Judge William E. Parnall in Bernalillo County that Alfonso – who had been out of American custody and at home for about three weeks – hadn't done enough to comply with his plan, so they couldn't be sure he was a safe placement and his rights should be terminated.
It isn't clear if Alfonso has an extensive criminal history in the U.S. or Mexico, but the opinion mentions that he has addictive tendencies and domestic violence issues.
Henry Varela, spokesman for CYFD, said he couldn't comment on any previous history with the father but said there is always more to a case than what is included in court filings.
Alfonso's attorney said her client was doing everything CYFD asked.
"I've never had a client who worked so hard at his end. He was doing his part best he could," said his attorney Nancy Simmons. "He did everything that was asked of him."
As the case continued, Alfonso traveled to a nearby town to take a urinalysis test and attend counseling.
But CYFD said the test didn't check for alcohol and the report from the Mexican counselor was too short to be trustworthy.
Alfonso provided information to his caseworker to qualify his mother and sister in Mexico as kin caretakers. Relatives in New Mexico were illegal immigrants and thus unable to be made legal caretakers.
But the caseworker didn't follow through because, she said, her caseload was too heavy, according to the opinion.
The father asked for a picture of his son; the caseworker didn't send one.
He needed a home study, but she didn't provide details on how to get one done.
Documents he sent to her went unread because they were in Spanish.
The caseworker argued that it would be "harmful" to return the boy to Alfonso because they hadn't had direct communication.
Finally, CYFD argued, the boy doesn't speak Spanish.
Parnall agreed to terminate Alfonso's parental rights.
Appeals Court judges said in their opinion that the language barrier was "highly persuasive" in Parnall's decision.
At this point, the child was about 18 months old.
But it shouldn't have been a consideration of termination, Appeals judges said.
"We are unconvinced that, as a general rule, native language disparities between a natural parent and his or her infant child are insurmountable obstacles to reunification," Judge James J. Wechsler wrote in the opinion.
Plus, they said, the child at that time was still young enough to overcome any such language barrier.
The Mexican Consulate, which helps facilitate communication in cases involving CYFD and Mexican children or parents, agreed.
"The consulate finds that although the language is important to create (affectional) bonds with the father in Mexico, (it) is not a reasonable justification to stop the family's reunification," consulate officials wrote in a statement to the Journal . "… it's also important to observe the correct development of the children in Mexico. The consulate respects the best interest of the children and the right to have access to their other culture."
The case is one of the first times the issue of a language barrier has been raised as an element of custody, so it is now included in training literature for lawyers, social workers and others who work with children in state custody.
The literature includes a summary of the Court of Appeals opinion and mentions the court has "serious reservations" that a language barrier was used in considering a case without additional evidence.
Other evidence
The Court of Appeals said "substantial evidence of a clear and convincing nature did not exist" to support the decision to terminate Alfonso's rights.
The Appeals judges said the burden is on CYFD to prove that a parent is unfit, but instead CYFD relied on a "lack of evidence," including the short counselor report and the limited urinalysis, as proof Alfonso was unfit. CYFD, appeals judges said, "had not met its burden of proof."
And CYFD didn't meet its legal requirement to fully help Alfonso reunify with the boy, the judges said, citing numerous failures of the social worker.
"We are troubled that CYFD requested the Consulate's assistance in offering treatment plan services to Father following his deportation, then approximately one month later sought to terminate Father's rights on grounds that he failed to comply with the plan," the judges wrote.
"Considering the totality of the circumstances, we do not agree with CYFD that these efforts met the minimum statutory requirements," they wrote, expressing concern that Parnall had not raised the same issues when CYFD presented its case to him.
While the appeals judges criticized CYFD and Parnall, they stopped short of saying the child's best interest is to return to Mexico to live with Alfonso.
They simply reinstated Alfonso's rights as the boy's father.
The Court of Appeals sent the case back to CYFD and the Children's Court in Bernalillo County so the father could work toward getting his son back.
CYFD spokesman Varela said his department is not appealing the case and is working with the father on a reunification plan.
"We're not appealing the fact that the court said to further work with this father for possible reunification, but I don't think it was conceding that it was a safe placement," Varela said.
Because such cases are confidential, he did not provide the father's name or other details.
He did say that the caseworker no longer works with CYFD and that at the time of court proceedings, she, like numerous other case workers at the agency, had a heavy caseload.
The former CYFD caseworker declined to comment for this story.
At the time of the CYFD action, in late 2013 and into 2014, several high-profile child abuse murders and a slow economy had triggered a sharp increase in child abuse reports and children taken into custody.
Varela said since then, the agency has received additional money to hire social workers, which has brought their caseloads down. "It did create an influx of reports on top of kids coming into custody," he said. "These are not being said as excuses, it's just setting the table for what is going on."
Alfonso's attorney, Simmons, said caseloads were high but this case was treated differently because the father lived in Mexico. "It shouldn't be a huge distinction between dealing with a family placement in Indiana or a dad that moved to Indiana and dealing with Mexico. It's right next door and it's not Mars," she said. "If he'd been released and gone back home to live with his mom on Charleston Street (in Albuquerque), he would have had his child back."
Meanwhile, the Journal has learned that Alfonso is considering an "open" adoption that allows the boy to remain with the only family he has ever known and whose language he speaks while also allowing for a relationship with the father who hasn't stopped fighting for him.

Selling a 150mm LOMO lens from the 1970's. The lens has a Kinor 16SX mount which is easily adaptable to m4/3, e-mount and PL mount with adapters from Rafccamera. Even though the lens was originally used on a S16 camera, the optical block is the same as on the S35 Lomo 150mm lenses. I've used this lens only on a m4/3 sensor and there's no vignetting, I also have a OCT-19 mount OKC1-150-1 and that lens even covers the full frame photo sensor! I can't confirm the maximum coverage of this lens tho!
The lens is in very good condition, only minor external wear. The aperture and focus are smooth and optics are clean. There is one glass bubble in one of the lens elements, but it shouldn't have any influence on the image quality. Minimum focus distance is 4m.

Anderson extradition was not on agenda with Obama: Krishna
NEW DELHI - In a candid admission that is set to upset activists demanding justice for the Bhopal gas tragedy victims, the government Thursday said the issue of extraditing former Union Carbide chief Warren Anderson did not figure in the talks between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and US President Barack Obama.
External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna told parliament here Thursday that as per the directions of the Group of Ministers, the material prepared by the investigating agency in support of extraditing Anderson was under examination by the competent authorities from the legal angle.
"Pending such examination, the issue was not specifically placed on the agenda of discussions with the US president," the minister said in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha.
Ahead of Obama's Nov 6-9 visit, a section of the political establishment, including the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Left parties, had pressed the government to take up the issue of Anderson's extradition during the talks with Obama.
Two NGOs working for the Bhopal gas tragedy victims had appealed to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to raise the issue of extraditing Anderson, the prime accused in the case, with Obama during their meeting Monday.
They had wanted the prime minister to impress upon Obama about the urgency of expediting the process of extradition of the absconding accused from the US to stand trial as per the laws of this land.
In a letter to Manmohan Singh, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan had asked him to seek Anderson's extradition during his talks with Obama, who was chairman of Union Carbide when its Bhopal plant leaked poisonous gas that caused the deaths of thousands in 1984.
In the letter, the chief minister said Obama's tour of India has given "us an opportunity to make him aware of the sentiments of people of Madhya Pradesh, especially the gas victims, and to raise the issue of extradition of Anderson."
Anderson was declared a fugitive by a Bhopal court Feb 1, 1992, for failing to appear at the court hearings in a culpable homicide case in which he was named the chief defendant.
The US has declined to extradite him citing a lack of evidence.

To answer the question, the Verify team dug into research on the topic and interviewed authorities on head lice treatment.
The Facebook post claimed that vinegar dissolves the glue that holds lice eggs to hair, but research showed that the glue is made of compounds similar to human hair. So if vinegar dissolved the fastening agent of eggs, it would also dissolve hair.
There's more bad news for treating head lice at home. Most of the products sold at drugstores are also ineffective because, over the years, lice have developed immunity to their active ingredients. A 2016 study published in the Journal of Medical Entomology found that 98 percent of head lice in the United States now carry a genetic resistance to pyrethroids, the class of pesticides used in the most popular lice treatment products. Pyrethroids have also been linked to behavioral and developmental problems in children.
Now for some good news. Lice Clinics of America®, the world's largest network of professional lice treatment centers, has developed a high-tech medical device that is cleared by the FDA and clinically shown to kill live lice and more than 99 percent of eggs in a single hour-long session. The device, called AirAllé®, uses microprocessor-controlled heated air to dehydrate lice and eggs. It is pesticide free and equally effective against pyrethroid-resistant lice and non-resistant lice. Treatment is applied by certified operators and is guaranteed to be effective.
The AirAllé was developed by scientists at the University of Utah and is now used in more than 350 clinics in 36 countries. The device has treated some half million cases of head lice with a success rate better than 99 percent.
There is also good news for home remedies. For families that don't live near a clinic or that prefer to treat lice at home, a home version of AirAllé, called OneCureTM is now available. OneCure uses the same FDA-cleared technology as AirAllé® and is also guaranteed to be effective when used as directed. It's a home remedy proven by science and medicine.

Expressions of Interest Sought to Provide Postal Services in Ballasalla
Posted1 in Press Releases
Isle of Man Post Office (IOMPO) is seeking expressions of interest for a service partner to provide assisted postal services in the Ballasalla community, beginning in April 2020.
IOMPO wishes to appoint a partner to provide support to customers to operate the touch screen services, encompassing standard postal services and important utility bill and rental payments, and to provide information and advice for completing paper-based services. The expression of interest also includes parcel collections, meaning customers may be able to both post and collect postal items from the same location.
Julie Edge MHK, Chairman of IOMPO, said: "A consistent theme of the responses to the consultation and public meetings held in Ballasalla was the need for a person to support the use of the services and technology available. We look forward to working with a new partner or partners which ensures a more affordable and sustainable service is retained in the Ballasalla community."
She continued: "We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Rob Knighton and his family for almost 17 years of dedicated service as a sub postmaster, and we wish him all the best for his future endeavours."
The expression of interest is available to view at www.iompost.com/procurement and the Isle of Man Government's Expressions of Interest website www.gov.im/categories/business-and-industries/expressions-of-interest/ from today (Friday 21st February).

LockBit ransomware attacks port infrastructures, releases free decryptor for children's hospital | #hacking | #cybersecurity | #infosec | #comptia | #pentest | #ransomware
Why it matters: LockBit is a "ransomware-as-a-service" operation where the malware creators and operators manage the backend, while affiliated "partners" breach victims' networks. Sometimes, this chain of operations can lead to a clash between parties – especially when the affiliates go against the ransomware's formal business policy.
It's been a busy end of year for LockBit, the infamous ransomware operation offering its encryption capabilities to script kiddies and other interested partners in crime. The ransomware was first responsible for an attack against the Port of Lisbon Administration, which manages Portugal's third-largest port and one of the most accessed ports in Europe.
The Port of Lisbon was targeted by LockBit on December 25, but according to the port's administration, no operational activity was compromised. All the security measures designed as a response to this type of occurrence were quickly activated, the organization said, while it was working with the competent authorities to restore the affected systems.
As a matter of fact, the Port of Lisbon's official website is still offline, and LockBit has already published a ransom note on their official site within the Tor darknet. The cyber-criminals are asking for a hefty price ($1,500,000) to be paid by January 18, 2023, otherwise they will publish all the data they were able to steal from the port's servers.
The LockBit gang says they got their hands on financial reports, audits, budgets, contracts, cargo information, ship logs, documentation, email messages and other valuable business or personal data. That's totally fine to encrypt, steal and sell to interested parties, because Port of Lisbon is not a children's hospital like the second outstanding victim LockBit collected at the end of 2022.
On December 18, one of LockBit's affiliates attacked the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), a Canadian teaching hospital devoted to child healthcare. The attack impacted internal and corporate systems, phone lines, and the hospital website. While just "a few" systems were compromised, patients had to deal with delays in exam results and longer wait times.
According to a later update, the SickKids team was able to restore almost 50% of the hospital's priority systems while others were still in progress. However, on new year's eve, the LockBit gang posted a note to "formally apologize" for the attack against the Canadian hospital. "The partner who attacked this hospital violated our rules, is blocked and is no longer in our affiliate program," the cyber-criminals said.
LockBit gave SickKids a free decryptor to restore the encrypted data, even though the hospital was already in the process of restoring all the systems by itself. According to LockBit's policy, affiliates of the ransomware operation have no permission to attack medical institutions to avoid accidental deaths. Stealing data is still allowed, however.

Suspect in Custody After SRT Response North of Casper
Zach Spadt, Townsquare Media
UPDATE (June 3, 12:15 p.m.)
The suspect has been identified as William C. Martin, 51, according to a Natrona County Sheriff's Office spokesperson.
One man was taken into custody Sunday afternoon following a reported assault which led to a significant law enforcement response north of Casper, according to a sheriff's investigator.
Investigator Taylor Courtney of the Natrona County Sheriff's Office told K2 Radio News that he could not immediately release the suspect's name or age. He did say that the man in custody is suspected of assault.
The Special Response team was activated after deputies responded to the assault call shortly after 11:30 a.m. Sunday. SRT officers established a perimeter in the 3600 Block of Blue Sage Lane, where the suspect was later taken into custody at a residence.
Courtney said he was not immediately able to provide information regarding any victim or victims of the alleged assault. He also could not give any immediate details regarding any injuries.
Courtney said there is no danger to the community in connection with the incident. The investigation remains active, Courtney added, and said he hoped to release additional details later Sunday as he learns more.
The Special Response Team, which is comprised of officers from multiple law enforcement agencies, exists to deal with situations which exceed the capabilities of typical patrol officers or deputies.
This story will be updated as more information emerges.

# Week 10 Overview<br /> Responsive Web Design

This week is all about "Responsive Web Design" (RWD). Last week you worked on the skills necessary to build a 'basic' website. This week, you will learn more about the tools available to you as a developer that can assist with the creation of current trends in web design.

#### { TODO: }

If you have not already done so, you should read the end of chapter 15 from the Duckett, specifically, pages 377-402. This provides an excellent summary of where web design was when the book was written in 2011.

Pay particular attention the the difference between "liquid", "fixed" and "grid-based" layouts. All of these are possible using the tools you explored last week.

#### Quick Changes

Although all of the approaches discussed in Chapter 15 from the Duckett are valid, they are falling our of favor for a more modern approach.

This week you will learn about;

- media queries
- mobile first development
- responsive web design
- flex boxes

These tools and techniques are being used heavily currently to design modern looking web pages.

There is a lesson from this though,

> ##### **"things change quick"**

Web design and development is a quickly evolving discipline and as such, you cannot plan on the tools you learn now being relevant forever.

This is not to say that HTML and CSS will go out of favor (although, who knows), but rather, the way things are done within these languages will continue to evolve quickly. If you find yourself making websites for a living, you will need to invest some time every year in learning new techniques, tools, and changes to the language specifications, so that you can be in a position to drive the field.

## This Week

This is another heavy week of content, with a lot to learn. Give yourself plenty of time to work through the material and to play with the concepts.

I am leveraging a lot of content from a free [Udacity](https://classroom.udacity.com/courses/ud893/) course this week that was co-built by a developer from Google.

They do a nice job describing the problems and needs of responsive web design. As such, their videos will be used as the primary content this week, along with supplemental information.

Adidas terminates relationship with Ye "immediately" amid antisemitic comments
Adidas on Tuesday said it has "immediately" terminated its relationship with Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, and will cease production of Yeezy-branded products.
"Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech," the company said in a press release. "Ye's recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful and dangerous, and they violate the company's values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness."
There has been growing pressure on major brands to cut ties with the rapper after he made antisemitic remarks on Twitter a few weeks ago.
The rapper later followed with more offensive comments against the Jewish community on Revolt TV's Drink Champs in a since-deleted interview.
Ye's comments against the Jewish community were also referenced over the weekend by a group of Los Angeles neo-Nazis who hung antisemitic flyers on a 405 freeway overpass, one of which declared "Kanye is right about the Jews."
In addition to Ye's remarks against the Jewish community, another recent controversy saw the Donda rapper sporting a "White Lives Matter" T-shirt during his surprise Yeezy Season 9 show in Paris, along with conservative political commentator Candace Owens.
Responding to the backlash over the T-shirts, Ye wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post, "Here's my latest response when people ask me why I made a tee that says white lives matter… THEY DO." The "White Lives Matter" slogan has been adopted by white supremacists as a counter to the "Black Lives Matter" movement, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Hollywood talent agency Creative Artists Agency announced Monday that it would no longer represent the rapper. Film and television studio MRC also said it would shelve a documentary on West, saying in a statement, in part, that it "cannot support any content that amplifies his platform."
Several reports have also stated that brands such as Balenciaga will no longer work with Ye.
Ye's ex-wife Kim Kardashian, as well as Reese Witherspoon, Amy Schumer, John Legend and others have also spoken out against Ye's comments aimed at the Jewish community.

It always happens this way. Productions can work as hard as they like to protect character designs, but when those characters are going to be licensed out to toy makers and the like, the designs always get out to the public via toy fairs and conventions.
So now we've got shots of Hasbro toys that tie in to The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Transformers: Age of Extinction. They show characters we knew would be in those films (such as Optimus Prime) and a couple we weren't sure about — we'll keep those names hidden after the break for those who'd rather not know just yet. Those characters, which relate to The Amazing Spider-Man 2, may not actually appear in the film, but their inclusion here points to the direction that the filmmakers are going overall.
First, here's Optimus Prime as he'll appear in part of Transformers: Age of Extinction, with the photo courtesy of Fandango and Movies.com editor Erik Davis. Additional photos come from Kelvin of Latino Review.
And these two images show toys that are reportedly related in direct fashion to The Amazing Spider-Man 2. The first, of Black Cat, is a pretty traditional depiction of the character as she appears in the comics. But the Green Goblin rendition, based on the Ultimates version of the character, is pretty extreme. Are we really going to see this in The Amazing Spider-Man 2?
A good disclaimer comes from Erik's tweet about the Carnage figure — if he won't necessarily be in the sequel, will this version of the Goblin? Carnage and the Black Cat are very faithful to their comics origins, while the Goblin appears changed a bit even from the Ultimates version. Since we know both Harry and Norman Osborn will be in the new Spider-Man films, this Goblin's inclusion seems like a safe bet.

Argamassa polimérica, Composto Polimérico para Assentamento ou Argamassa sintética refere-se a uma classe de argamassas que servem de opção à argamassa convencional ou argamassa cimentícia e também à argamassa (Massa Industrializada) para aplicações na construção, nas etapas de alvenaria e revestimento.

O termo argamassa polimérica também é utilizado para descrever algumas argamassas cimentícias que contenham aditivos poliméricos para melhorar seu desempenho ou alterar suas propriedades.

As argamassas poliméricas são aplicadas para o assentamento de tijolos ou blocos na execução de alvenarias de vedação (paredes). Recentemente as argamassas poliméricas também tem sido utilizadas para o assentamento de pisos, azulejos e pastilhas durante o revestimento.

Na aplicação em alvenarias, a argamassa polimérica apresenta diferenças em termos de rendimento e velocidade de aplicação, além de serem comercializadas já na forma de massa pronta o que reduz potencialmente o custo com mão de obra no preparo.

História
A primeira formulação de uma argamassa polimérica de que se tem notícia foi publicada em uma revista norte americana em 1981 e a tecnologia básica empregada na formulação química já existia na década de 1970. No entanto, esta categoria de produto foi pouco difundida no Brasil até o ano de 2011, quando as argamassas polimérica começaram a ser oferecidas por alguns fabricantes no mercado de construção civil do Brasil.

Em 2016 foi criada uma comissão ABNT/CEE-226 Comissão de Estudo Especial de Composto Polimérico para Assentamento para normatização do composto no que tange terminologia, requisitos e desempenho esperado.

Foram publicadas em 27/03/2017 as normas ABNT NBR 16590, partes 1 e 2, que tratam do Composto Polimérico para Assentamento de Alvenaria de Vedação, o que garante  mais segurança aos construtores na aquisição e utilização desses produtos de empresas que deverão (a partir da data de publicação) comprovar o atendimento dos requisitos e métodos nelas estabelecidos.

Dessa forma, a Argamassa Polimérica não é mais considerada um produto/sistema inovador, podendo ser aplicada sem restrições para sistemas de vedação vertical em obras públicas ou privadas.

Características
Uma das principais características da argamassa polimérica é que, ao contrário das argamassas convencionais, que são comercializadas em pó, a argamassa polimérica é comercializada em estado pastoso e pronto (massa) para a utilização, sem necessitar a adição de água ou aditivos no momento da aplicação.

Por se tratar de um produto elastomérico, a argamassa polimérica apresenta um baixo Módulo de Young associado a uma resistência à compressão entre 3,0 MPa e 5,0 MPa o que proporciona, apesar da menor quantidade aplicada, características construtivas que favorecem o não aparecimento de patologias típicas tais como trincas e falhas na alvenaria.

Para sua caracterização e confiabilidade, as argamassa poliméricas devem se submeter aos mesmos testes e ensaios das argamassas cimentícias tanto para aplicação em alvenaria como para revestimentos de pisos e azulejos.

Rendimento
O rendimento da argamassa polimérica para alvenaria varia em função do tipo de bloco mas, em média, é de 1,5 kg/m². Comparativamente à argamassa cimentícia, rende pelo menos vinte vezes mais. O rendimento da argamassa polimérica aplicada em sobreposição de pisos varia entre 1,0 kg/m² e 3,0 kg/m² em função da planeza da superfície de aplicação.

Sustentabilidade
Argamassas poliméricas são reconhecidas pelo forte apelo ecológico por não conterem em sua formulação os dois principais ingredientes da argamassa cimentícia, ambos impactantes ao meio ambiente:
 Cimento Portland:De acordo com o SNIC (Sindicato Nacional da Indústria de Cimento), a fabricação de 1 kg de cimento emite mais de 600 gramas de CO2 na atmosfera. Estas emissões se dão devido ao processo de decarbonificação das matérias primas e devido ao consumo de energia necessário para chegar a temperaturas de até 1450 ºC no seu processo de fabricação. Estima-se que a indústria do cimento responde por aproximadamente 5% do total de CO2 emitido pelo homem.
 Areia de rios:Por eliminar a necessidade do uso de areia na mistura da argamassa convencional, a argamassa polimérica contribui para diminuir a retirada deste material dos leitos de rios, evitando os problemas ambientais associados com esta prática.
Além disso, as argamassas poliméricas reduzem o desperdício de materiais na construção e o consumo de energia elétrica necessário ao processo de mistura com betoneira.

Composição química
A composição química das argamassas poliméricas deve conter resinas sintéticas, cargas minerais e diversos aditivos como espessantes, bactericidas, impermeabilizantes estabilizantes. Diferenças de formulações, tipos, quantidades e qualidade de matérias primas utilizadas na formulação resultam em significantes diferenças de características mecânicas, desempenho estrutural e durabilidade entre as argamassas poliméricas atualmente existentes no mercado.

Vantagens
As vantagens estão associadas ao alto rendimento e o aumento da produtividade nas fase de alvenaria. Além disso, como o produto não é a granel e possui maior rendimento, há melhor controle de estoque e redução do custo logístico. A utilização da argamassa polimérica, conforme informações dos fabricantes, garantem um aumento de produtividade de pelo menos 50% e redução do custo total da alvenaria de pelo menos 40%.

Limitações
Em função da espessura da junta vertical e horizontal, a argamassa polimérica deve ser utilizada com blocos sem defeito e sua aplicação se dá somente na alvenaria de vedação. Para aplicação em revestimentos de piso ou azulejo, a planeza da superfície deve ser o mais próxima de zero.

Aplicação
A aplicação da argamassa polimérica pode ser realizada através da própria embalagem, pistola ou equipamento pneumático. Tipicamente são aplicados dois ou três cordões contínuos da argamassa sobre as fiadas de blocos ou tijolos. São preenchidas as juntas verticais com a própria argamassa polimérica. Em função da forma construtiva e da qualidade do bloco, pode ser utilizada argamassa convencional para garantir o nível da primeira fiada e no encunhamento.

As argamassa poliméricas vem sendo utilizadas em diversas obras para alvenaria de vedação, com destaque para as arenas do Parque Olímpico Rio 2016.

Para aplicação em pisos e azulejos, com uma maior concentração de polímeros, utiliza-se espátula denteada. Essa aplicação pode servir para pisos e azulejos novos ou para sobreposição em revestimentos existentes. Nesse caso, o produto é tipicamente fornecido em baldes de 5 kg e 30 kg.

Normatização
As normas ABNT NBR 16590, partes 1 e 2 tratam de requisitos relacionados a apresentação, embalagem, caracterização e desempenho do produto. Desempenho: considerando que a Argamassa Polimérica é aplicada para a formação de sistemas verticais de vedação interna e externa, devem ser atendidos todos os requisitos estabelecidos pela ABNT NBR 15575-4. São estes: resistência mecânica, estanqueidade à passagem de água e pressão de vento, desempenho acústico, desempenho térmico e resistência ao fogo, observando as condições de análise referentes à caracterização de bloco, espessura de revestimento, argamassa de revestimento e composto polimérico para assentamento.  Isto garante segurança mecânica, acústica e ao fogo da parede construída.

Caracterização: o material deve, de acordo com o ensaio de Espectroscopia por absorção no infravermelho, apresentar padrão espectroscópico de material constituído por composto polimérico compatível com uma resina acrílica estirenada. Além disso, a Análise termogravimétrica (TGA) deve apontar o atendimento dos percentuais de perda de massa para condições de temperatura estabelecidas. O índice de consistência é informativo e deve ser estável ao longo do ciclo de vida do produto embalado até o limite da validade. Isto garante qualidade e durabilidade ao longo do ciclo de vida da obra .

Aplicação: a Argamassa Polimérica deve ser aplicada respeitando os seguintes aspectos: a) o assentamento da primeira fiada com argamassa convencional deve ocorrer de modo que as irregularidades no sistema de piso sejam minimizadas, ou que seja garantido o uso de piso com planicidade adequada;  b) o composto polimérico deve ser aplicado em no mínimo dois cordões na horizontal, sendo a espessura anterior ao assentamento de 10 mm ± 2 mm sobre a superfície de assentamento (do bloco ou tijolo);  c) as juntas verticais entre blocos podem ser preenchidas ou não;  d) na composição das paredes, os compostos poliméricos podem ser empregados no encunhamento, contanto que tal informação seja apresentada pelo fabricante e comprovadamente demonstrada a eficiência para este fim.

Apresentação e Embalagem: a embalagem deve ser impermeável, selada ou valvulada, garantindo a estanqueidade a água. O fabricante deve informar os requisitos para armazenamento e manuseio e a identificação do produto deve conter as seguintes informações:  a) nome comercial ou genérico;  b) nome do fabricante;  c) massa, em quilogramas, da embalagem;  d) indicação do atendimento à norma;  e) número do lote e data de fabricação;  f) nome do químico responsável.

O Professor Doutor do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Civil e do Mestrado Profissional de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Unisinos e Diretor de Eventos do Instituto Brasileiro do Concreto (Ibracon), Bernardo Fonseca Tutikian, contribuiu para a redação da norma, explica o que muda com a norma.

WeatherTech Racing Moves up To GTLM for 2021 Season
By Colin Wood
Jan 6, 2021 | GTLM, WeatherTech, Porsche
In conjunction with Proton Competition, the No. 79 WeatherTech Racing Porsche 911 RCR will complete in the GTLM category for the 2021 IMSA endurance season, starting with the 24 Hours of Daytona January 22-24.
The 911 will be piloted by Cooper MacNeil, Richard Lietz, Kevin Estre and Gianmaria Bruni for at least the race at Daytona.
For more information about the move, read the full press release below:
Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (Jan. 6, 2021) - WeatherTech Racing will move up to the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GTLM Class with Porsche and Proton Competition for the 2021 season.
Cooper MacNeil (Hindsdale, Ill.) will be joined by Richard Lietz (Austria), Kevin Estre (France) and Gianmaria Bruni (Italy) for the Rolex 24 At Daytona.
The team that started in sportscar competition in 2012 in the American Le Mans Series, winning the GTC Championship in 2012 and 2013, will move up to IMSA's premier GT class by entering their No. 79 WeatherTech Racing Porsche 911 RSR in the GTLM Class starting with the Rolex 24 Hour At Daytona in three weeks.
Proton Competition will make the move to full-time racing in North America in 2021. The team has competed in the WEC as well as the European Le Mans Series and is adding the IMSA WeatherTech Championship this year. The agreement will also see the team apply for an entry in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the GTE Pro Class.
"We have put a lot of thought into this move," MacNeil said. "I have raced against this level of competition at Le Mans twice, most recently this year, and have felt comfortable with the added performance of the car. We are going back to running a Porsche, and I am looking forward to getting behind the wheel of the 911 RSR. It will be more pressure on me as a driver, but I am welcoming the added effort it is going to take to run GTLM in 2021.
"We raced with Christian at Le Mans in 2016, so we have an on-track history. I am looking forward to running the Rolex 24 with Richard, Kevin and Gimmi. Proton has a great endurance racing history, and Porsche is always competitive at Daytona."
For Christian Ried, Proton Competition owner, it will be his first full season of racing in North America's premier sportscar series.
"We have been looking at entering the IMSA WeatherTech Championship for a few years," Ried explained. "We just didn't feel like the time was right until now. With the factory effort leaving, that left a void for Porsche in GTLM. We were able to get together with David and Cooper [MacNeil] to keep the Porsche brand racing at the top level of GT competition in IMSA. I am looking forward to the challenge and am excited to add IMSA to our racing schedule in 2021."
The 2021 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season will start with the traditional Roar Before the 24 test at Daytona International Speedway, January 22-24. The Rolex 24 At Daytona will run January 27-31.

Neale completed his BA in linguistics at University College London working with linguist Deirdre Wilson. He completed his PhD in Philosophy at Stanford University with philosopher John Perry as his dissertation advisor.
Prior to joining the CUNY faculty, Neale held positions at Princeton University, University of California, Berkeley, and Rutgers University.
Pierre Baumann (University of Puerto Rico), Herman Cappelen (University of Oslo), Josh Dever (University of Texas, Austin), Eli Dresner (Tel Aviv University), Brian Robinson (Texas A&M University–Kingsville), Daniel Harris (CUNY), Angel Pinillos (Arizona State University), and Elmar Unnsteinsson (University College Dublin) are among his doctoral students.
Philosophical work
Neale's writings are primarily in the philosophy of language. His research intersects with generative linguistics, the philosophy of mind, cognitive science, metaphysics, philosophical logic, the philosophy of law and the philosophy of archaeology.
Philosophical problems about interpretation, context, information content, structure, and representation form the nexus of this work. Neale is an intentionalist and a pragmatist about the interpretation of speech and writing, and to this extent his work is rooted in the Gricean tradition. He has vigorously defended an intention-based theory of meaning, and a general approach to meaning and interpretation he calls "linguistic pragmatism" that can be tailored to legal contexts. He has also defended and extended Russell's Theory of Descriptions and descriptive theories of anaphora. According to Neale traditional accounts of interpretation are marred by failures that can be eradicated by (1) engaging correctly with the epistemic asymmetry of the situations in which producers and consumers of language find themselves; (2) distinguishing adequately the metaphysical question of what determines what a speaker (or writer or signer) means on a given occasion from the epistemological question of how that particular meaning is identified; (3) appreciating the severity of constraints on the formation of linguistic intentions; (4) appreciating pervasive forms of underdeterminaton (such as those examined by pragmatists and relevance theorists); (5) failures to recognise that genuine indeterminacy of the sort associated with what speakers (and writers) "imply" frequently applies to what is "said" too; (6) abandoning reliance on formal notions of context deriving from indexical logics, (7) scrutinising transcendent notions of "what is said", "what is implied" and "what is referred to"; and (8) correcting the role traditional compositional semantics plays in explanations of how humans use language to represent the world and communicate.
Neale also wrote an influential defense of Saul Kripke in the Times Literary Supplement against charges that Kripke's new theory of reference had plagiarized work by Ruth Barcan Marcus.[1]

We found more records about Maria Costa (Brunhago).
Maria Costa (Brunhago) is buried in the Cemitério Comunidade Sagrada Família - Massaranduba at the location displayed on the map below. This GPS information is ONLY available at BillionGraves. Our technology can help you find the gravesite and other family members buried nearby.
Maria Costa (Brunhago) was 19 years old when Babe Ruth becomes the first baseball player to hit 500 home runs in his career with a home run at League Park in Cleveland, Ohio. George Herman "Babe" Ruth Jr. was an American professional baseball player whose career in Major League Baseball (MLB) spanned 22 seasons, from 1914 through 1935. Nicknamed "The Bambino" and "The Sultan of Swat", he began his MLB career as a stellar left-handed pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, but achieved his greatest fame as a slugging outfielder for the New York Yankees. Ruth established many MLB batting records, including career home runs (714), runs batted in (RBIs) (2,213), bases on balls (2,062), slugging percentage (.690), and on-base plus slugging (OPS) (1.164); the latter two still stand as of 2018. Ruth is regarded as one of the greatest sports heroes in American culture and is considered by many to be the greatest baseball player of all time. In 1936, Ruth was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame as one of its "first five" inaugural members.
Maria Costa (Brunhago) was 29 years old when Adolf Hitler signs an order to begin the systematic euthanasia of mentally ill and disabled people. Adolf Hitler was a German politician, demagogue, and Pan-German revolutionary, who was the leader of the Nazi Party, Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945 and Führer ("Leader") of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945. As dictator, Hitler initiated World War II in Europe with the invasion of Poland in September 1939, and was central to the Holocaust.
Maria Costa (Brunhago) was 34 years old when World War II: The Allied invasion of Normandy—codenamed Operation Overlord—begins with the execution of Operation Neptune (commonly referred to as D-Day), the landing of 155,000 Allied troops on the beaches of Normandy in France. The Allied soldiers quickly break through the Atlantic Wall and push inland in the largest amphibious military operation in history. The Allies of World War II, called the United Nations from the 1 January 1942 declaration, were the countries that together opposed the Axis powers during the Second World War (1939–1945). The Allies promoted the alliance as a means to control German, Japanese and Italian aggression.
Maria Costa (Brunhago) was 42 years old when Jonas Salk announced the successful test of his polio vaccine on a small group of adults and children (vaccination pictured). Jonas Edward Salk was an American medical researcher and virologist. He discovered and developed one of the first successful polio vaccines. Born in New York City, he attended New York University School of Medicine, later choosing to do medical research instead of becoming a practicing physician. In 1939, after earning his medical degree, Salk began an internship as a physician scientist at Mount Sinai Hospital. Two years later he was granted a fellowship at the University of Michigan, where he would study flu viruses with his mentor Thomas Francis, Jr.
Maria Costa (Brunhago) was 53 years old when The Beatles make their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, performing before a "record-busting" audience of 73 million viewers across the USA. The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. With members John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they became widely regarded as the foremost and most influential music band in history. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock and roll, the Beatles later experimented with several musical styles, ranging from pop ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock, often incorporating classical elements and unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways. In 1963, their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania"; as the group's music grew in sophistication, led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the band were integral to pop music's evolution into an art form and to the development of the counterculture of the 1960s.
Maria Costa (Brunhago) was 67 years old when Star Wars is released in theaters. Star Wars is a 1977 American epic space opera film written and directed by George Lucas. It is the first film in the original Star Wars trilogy and the beginning of the Star Wars franchise. Starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Peter Cushing, Alec Guinness, David Prowse, James Earl Jones, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, and Peter Mayhew, the film focuses on the Rebel Alliance, led by Princess Leia (Fisher), and its attempt to destroy the Galactic Empire's space station, the Death Star.

China makes largest incursion into Taiwan airspace
by David Bishop | Jan 24, 2022
Taiwan has reported the largest incursion since October by China's air force into its air defence zone, with the island's defence ministry saying Taiwanese fighters scrambled to warn away 39 aircraft in the latest uptick in tensions. Taiwan calls China's repeated nearby military activities "grey zone" warfare, designed to both wear out Taiwan's forces by making them repeatedly scramble, and also to test Taiwan's responses. Al Jazeera reports that there was no immediate comment from China, which has in the past said such moves were drills aimed at protecting the country's sovereignty, but China has recently stepped up pressure on Taiwan to accept its sovereignty claims.

Extended 'Fan's Guide' Featurette Examines 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'
"You have 576 possible webshooter combinations." Sony has released a boatload of marketing material for Spider-Man: Homecoming, with release less than a month away. The most important new promo is a 22 minute "Fan's Guide" featurette. It aired on Disney XD and is aimed at younger viewers, but still has lots of cool behind-the-scenes footage and details about the new Spidey movie. There's another featurette on the new Spidey suit (that Tony Stark helped build) and a fun TV spot, plus a few posters below. Tom Holland stars as Peter Parker, and the cast includes Marisa Tomei as Aunt May, Jon Favreau as Happy, Michael Keaton as Vulture, Donald Glover, Robert Downey Jr., Martin Starr, Logan Marshall-Green, Angourie Rice, Hannibal Buress, and Zendaya. I actually have high hopes for this, it looks damn good.
Here's the extensive "Fan's Guide" featurette on Jon Watts' Spider-Man: Homecoming, from YouTube:
Next - here's another featurette on the new Spidey suit in Spider-Man: Homecoming, also on YouTube:
Also - here's a few new promo posters for Spider-Man: Homecoming that also just debuted, via IMPAwards:
You can still watch the teaser trailer for Spider-Man: Homecoming here, or the second trailer / third trailer.
A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man living in New York City begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging superhero. Starring the same Peter Parker (played by Tom Holland) that first appeared in Marvel's Captain America: Civil War. Spider-Man: Homecoming is directed by American filmmaker Jon Watts, of the films Clown and Cop Car previously. The screenplay is credited to: Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley, and Jon Watts & Christopher Ford, and Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers. Kevin Feige produced for Marvel Studios, even though Sony is releasing this. Columbia Pictures will open Spider-Man: Homecoming in theaters everywhere starting July 7th, 2017 this summer. What do you think? Are you in?

Disney is a xenophobe company. Can't see it either.
tarek on Jun 13, 2017
people complaining about Iron Man being in all the posters and promos are idiots not only is he clearly a big part of the story, BUT it's shoving it in people's faces that "Spider-Man is home! this one's worth seeing!" because the average viewer isn't gonna realize that on their own
DanielShaw on Jun 12, 2017
I am the idiot who's complaining about that. Thanks genius, Studios got their fingers burnt by the mess that was ASM, so they thought it would be less risky if they sell us the new Spiderman as a bonus in an Iron Man adventure. Or is it the other way around?
Blacklisted in Japan, but thanks to VPN magic, it was good. I hate the voice work that Disney XD employs. It freaks me out.

Mandeville Public Works Environmental Interpretive Program is starting to offer FREE tours of Mandeville's innovative, biological waste water treatment facility and constructed wetlands to interested adults.
Participants will tour the facility by wagon. Bring your binoculars for a close-up view of local wetland animals. David DeGeneres, MPW Director, will be on hand to guide the tour and answer questions.
Interested individuals or groups should contact Connie at 624-3169 to reserve a spot. A minimum of 10 participants is required to be able to hold the tour. In the event of rain, the tour will be cancelled.
Mandeville's unique educational program received special recognition from Governor Blanco. This program was presented with the 2004 Governor's Environmental Leadership Award for Community Environmental Outreach Achievement from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality.
The City of Mandeville now offers investigative field trips for Grades 2-12 that are focused on water purification, wetlands assimilation, and watershed conservation through the Public Works facility. Each field trip experience is an integrated, interactive, "real-life" opportunity for students to learn about environmental issues in "their own backyard."
All of the above field trips are available to higher levels of learning. In addition, lab activities can be tailored to your instructional needs; including chemistry of wastewater and biology of microorganisms in our wastewater and receiving waters. Click here for descriptions of class lab programs.
Each summer, Mandeville's Environmental Interpretative Program holds 2 one-week summer camps for children entering grades 4-7.Each session is limited to 45 campers who learn first-hand about protecting our watershed.Daily camp activities include nature related field trips, hands-on environmental investigations, and water fun activities.This year, lessons on oil spill effects and clean-up was added to bring awareness of current events.


A couple have people have written to say they're having difficulty hearing the calls on the raw clips from March 2, 2013. I'm posting an amplified version of the morning first clip. The clarinet toots and rustling will be quite loud, but the calls are definitely much easier to hear.
In addition to the calls at 0:03, 0:17, 2:04, 3:36, and 3:47, another much fainter call can be heard at 3:19. This call is so soft as to be barely audible on the unamplified version. This tends to support the strong field impression that the calls came from two distinct sources.
I've consolidated what was formerly an independent post with this one, since the point it makes a relatively minor and pertains to a subject area in which my knowledge is very limited.
I'm not able to use Cornell's Raven sonogram software. I created the sonogram I posted here showing the last calls in the morning of March 2, 2013 series using AudioXplorer, a free program. Frank Wiley has run the first call through Raven (see below), and the results are interesting.
As with the other calls I've looked looked at, the duration is under 100 ms. This is consistent with the Singer Tract recordings. If I read Frank's sonogram correctly, the third harmonic is stronger than the second. I'm no expert and am not unbiased; the readings are very faint, but that's my impression. If this is correct, the harmonic structure is also similar to the Singer Tract recordings. The base frequency for this call is 925 Hz., while some of the others are slightly lower, approximately 910 Hz. The Singer Tract kents range from approximately 580-790 Hz. with most clustered between 610 and 690, so there is a substantial difference in that regard.
Edited to add: In listening again to various confusion species (most of which I think can be ruled out), I'm struck by the similarity between these calls and the "kek" call of a Cooper's Hawk. But I don't think these calls are from Cooper's Hawks (and I've had nesting Coopers' in the woods behind my house for years); they're somewhat less harsh and have a slightly airier quality. They're also unaccompanied by other Cooper's Hawk calls and aren't persistent. (And a couple of people don't hear the similarity that I'm hearing.) While the similarities are not discussed in the monograph, Tanner mistook the calls of a Cooper's Hawk for an ivorybill in 1937, after the Singer Tract recordings were made (Bales p.102).
This recording includes examples of the Cooper's Hawk call I'm describing. The base frequency appears to be just over 1000 Hz, since it's not visible on the sonogram when the slider is set to 1000 Hz maximum.
It's also worth noting that Kuhn and Tanner seem to have believed they could distinguish the calls of the solitary male, known as "Mack's Bayou Pete", from the John's Bayou birds (Bales pp. 153-157). On one occasion, Tanner wrote that Mack's Bayou Pete, " . . . yipped and pecked" (Bales p. 155).

May i ask a Something ~ How to make a background same with FTKChuuNinja In The Game ???
who have nice Tree Mob too ???
I can't see a single picture you put in your post.
Now u can see it ???
Yup there it is! freaking awesome!
the sky is just a .dds file made using GIMP. you can make one too by searching 360 sky panoramas and editing them by getting mountains in there.
Ftk, did you know how to make a skin from scratch?
You can just place and edit the mountains from a picture to your sky, and save it with the same formats as the original sky, as. I even made my own night sky.
The sky .dds file location im find it ... but the size can noraml be how much 1584x460?
The sky .DDS file should be in your Data folder, nowhere else. I don't know about size, though!
yes ftk, im using gimp to edit.
im follow your 4096x2048 size ... why so blur in the background?
How much did you upscale or downscale the original image to get it to that size? If you increased it that is the problem; as you increase in size you loose detail. You could try to use the unsharpen mask to sharpen the image a bit, but it still won't be as crisp. Try to find an image as close to the resolution that you're using as possible.
Edit: also from now on try not to double post unless it's an update. Use the edit feature instead.
IM Done , After Show YOu Some Picture haha... Thanks Guy !
Who have a mod is trex with trex can join hutting ?

Bees - Tales From the Hive
Great up-close footage filmed with specially developed macro lenses brings you the most intimate and most spectacular portrayal of a working bee colony ever filmed. Hear things only bees hear. Discover new found facts about the strange and complex life of bees. Have you ever seen the high-speed mid-air "wedding flight" of a drone and his queen? Did you know it takes nectar from 10 million flowers to create a single litre of honey?
Bees: Tales from the Hive exposes a bee colony's secret world, detailing rarely-seen events, such as the life-or-death battle between a pair of rival queens, and a scout bee's mysterious dance that shares special "nectar directions" with the rest of the hive.
Available from Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.
More Than Honey
Documentary by Markus Imhoof. Covers honey bee deaths as well as the biology and social behaviour of the honey bee, as well as the exploitation of honey bees for agri-cultural use. Markus Imhoof himself comes from a family that has included beekeepers through the generations.
Writes Eric Kohn in Indiewire: ''Imhoof captures the breeding of queen bees in minute detail, ventures to a laboratory to witness a bee brainscan, and discovers the dangerous prospects of a hive facing the infection of mites. In this latter case, the camera's magnifying power renders the infection in sci-fi terms, as if we've stumbled into a discarded scene from David Cronenberg's THE FLY.''
A moving film that raises questions of species survival in cosmic as well as apiary terms.
More Than Honey is available from Amazon.
